| Bald Eagles Second year we have seen a pair at Fort Whyte. They were a long ways off. I took about 40 photos of them and this is probably the best of the lot. |

| Canada Goose guarding the nest. A pair have nested within a few feet of the walkway for the last few years. This year they are on the opposite side of the walk. The male made quite a fuss as we approached but settled down as soon as we passed although we stopped at the end of the walk maybe 10 feet from the nest. |
 |
| The nest. It is maybe one step from the walkway. There are several picnic tables about 20 feet from the nest. The nest is located in a garden with quite a bit of foot traffic passing and noisy excited kids being pretty common close by most days. |
 |
| Another nest. I was taking photos of another bird when I noticed this one maybe 15 feet away. Another unusual location as it is quite close to a dock, a couple of walkways and a trail. There is also a shelter close by that is used by groups of school children on outings. |

| Robin Saw this one fighting with this worm. The struggle went on for a few minutes before it succeeded in pulling the worm from the ground. |

| Tree Swallows Was trying to catch them as they all flew up and chest bumped each other. I was not successful. |
 |
| Tree Swallow Have been trying for a few years to catch one as they dip into the water. This is the closest I've come to success. |
